GIS for MarketingWhere Strategy Meets Opportunity
The Geographic Advantage™
The Geographic Approach™
In today’s competitive marketplace, successful brands are listening to and understanding what customers really care
about. Traditional and previously proven forms of marketing are no longer as effective as they once were. This is
where geographic information system (GIS) technology comes in, allowing you to visualize where your customers are
located by analyzing demographic, psychographic, purchasing, and spending characteristics for accurate customer
segmentation and helping you find more like them.
to Target Marketing

Step 2
Profile and Segment
Step 1
See Your Customers
Using geography is helping marketers worldwide see the bigger picture, become more agile, seize new market opportunities, and stay ahead of the competition. Mass mailing to an entire ZIP Code™ that may or may not contain your target audience is no longer necessary. Save time, money, and resources by truly understanding where the largest concentrations of your customers are located, what they are buying, how far they are willing to travel, their lifestyle characteristics, and much more.
Customer databases are inherently geographic. Every transaction contains vital location information that can be used to identify all your customers and their unique buying habits. Recognizing patterns and trends among your customer base helps create a perfect picture of what a “model” customer would look like. This ensures that your marketing messages touch existing and prospective customers both rationally and emotionally.

Consumer Packaged GoodsTailor products and marketing efforts to the needs of households with the profile of ideal customers and their lifestyles. Automate marketing processes such as customer segmentation, customer data integration, and campaign management.

Step 4
Find and Target
Step 3
Understand Needs and Behaviors
Existing customers already know you and what you can do. The challenge is learning from them to successfully target new customers with similar interests, desires, and needs. Customer segmentation based on geographic and psychographic characteristics plays an important role in determining who you should target, where, and how. This helps ensure you are spending your marketing dollars in the most profitable geographic areas, maximizing ROI, and gaining a competitive edge.
Defining the customer in terms of wants, needs, and desires is essential to the success of any marketing campaign. Outreach efforts that match products and offerings to the needs of the consumer create enduring buzz and amplify brand profile. Knowing the different elements that stimulate consumer purchasing activity helps you design appropriate marketing techniques and responses.
